HARPER.

To the Editor OF the Eagle,
Harper is the only town in Southern
Kansas that is not now having boom,
but Harper has never doomed. 1t is true
there is more than the usual hustle and &C
tivity, and many of cur neighboring towns
are advertising a big boom with less back
ing for the assertion. There is considera-
BILE property changing hands and many
monied men are making investments here.
RothwelPs opera house sold few days
ago for $4,000. H. F. Hartzell has pur-
chased forty acres of land joining the
town site on the southeast, and will
lay out an addition the city. This
properly would have been covered with
residences long ago had it been on the
market as it is very desirable and central.
Joe Rothwell, Harper's Oldest and most
enterprisins real estate man, is again open
ing an office and will return to that bust
ness, believing that there will be good
deal to do this spring.
w. w. Clark, of the Harper FIGURING
Mills, who has been a renter here, this
week purchased nearly sci, 900 worth of
property.
The city this week purchased twenty
five acres of land for a park and will ex-
pend few thousand improving it this
spring.
Work is now being pushed on the city
water works.
The $4,000 voted to build another
school house in some other part of town,
met with but slight opposition:
The old board of trade has been reOrgan
lied and is now apparently imbued with
new life.
The normal school fiourishes and grows
daily in numbers and popularity.
Railroad prospects continue bright and
we expect three new roads.
The revival meeting at the Baptist
church has closed.
Theatrical, social and lecture entertain
ments have been unusually numerous the
past week.
Harper is this spring attracting the at
tention of many monied men and promises
to make much greater improvement this
year than in any year in her past history.

ANDOVER ITEMS.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
AS all the correspondents are giving the
booms their towns are experiencing, we
judged it would not be out Of order for us
to make few remarks regarding the great
boom that come on Andover as sudden as
an earthquake. Heretofore she has been
laying quiet and watching other towns
and waiting until the time should come
when she would sail forth in all her glory
and eclipse all of them in booming And
now she thinks the accepted time has ar
rived. and immed lately adds TO the town
site forty-six acres on the south, and in a
few days another addition on the north of
twenty acres will be plated. Quite q
number are ready TO build as soon as lots
can be provided, and we will bet the
EAGLE a copy of the Andover News
when we get her started-agairst this
printing Office outfit that every lot will be
sold in three months. We are going TO
meet Wichita half way, and don't you
forget ii. Everything here is ON the rush,
and strangers too numerous 10 mention.

probably every few minutes Truly We

Surveying will commence tomorrow

The X & F. s. road will run through
here and we have a fair prospect for ano,h-

This is the heslthiest place in the state
and the water as pure as could be; always
cool and pleasant here in the summer time,

From our tsavclInS correspondent.
There is 70 use trying to explain Cald

grab their grips when they get within

they wont be the first nan out and in the

that she may, that fact would not touch,

TEELAST LEGISLATURE.
It's Corruption, and Its Hypocrisy g
Municipal Suffrage.

The EAGLE has denominated de lasl
legislature as being cranky. We have said
that its action touching the female suffrage
matter was not an hon st expression OF
sentiment or convictiori-that it was simply
fool buncombe made up OF boquets and pos
ings. We knew that time would tell the
inside of much that seemed inexpiicable.
1t couldn't stop at outrageous and eXtraVa
gance but had to, by the EXTREMIST possible
measure, do the cause of Temperance and
morality more harm than good. 1t seems
that forty Of these supposed representatives
voted for municipal suffrage because they
thought or expected that Governor Martin
would veto it, and findiog that the chances
were that he would not went to him per
sonaily aud requested him to do SO. A
member of that body at least declares as
much. Hon. Ed. Ccrrol, of Leavenworth,
in a speech says:
There are meetings. about a Kansas leg;
islature which DO not like. Ninety mem
bcrs of this house, in order to earn bOquets,
voted for sentimental piece Of legislation.
OF these ninety members, forty went and
personally requested Governor Martin to
undo what they themselves had done.
What / do not like about the present legis-
lature is TO see men with the countenances
of prize fighters coming in after en all
nights lebauch, with Topeka rot-gut whis-
KEY oozing out of their eyes, deliver a
lecture on temperance to gentlemen like
myself, who never drink drop Gentle
men, | call upon you to go to your homes
and relegatc to private life these eyesores
upon any body They are a disgrace to
themselves, TO their paternity, to their con-
stitucnts, and TO the people OF Kansas.
What I do not like about the present
legislature is the doodle senate" Scarcely
measure passed that body this season, no
matter how meritorious, without the pro-
jectors being compelled to hold up their
hands and permit the three BIS to hold
him up. A reputable gentleman, who has
been recommended by the speaker OF the
house, informed me that he was compelled
to bribe senators 10 the extent Of s., 600 in
order TO get little local bill through that
body after it had passed the house. tell
you, gentlemen, that the conduct OF the
present state senate smells to that extent
that by the side of it the stink of the Kan
sas City slaughter houses is as the perfume
of the roses

act when their school days are over and
they start out in the battle of life without

frontier towns, has had two men fol

These bright spring days finds every
| thing full of life. Real estate is changing
hands rapidly, and at higher prices. with
each succeeding day. Wichita buyers pro-
cured eighty city lots one day this week.
But the buying is not by outsiders alto
gether, our farmers are procuring as rap
idly as possible lands near the city for gar
dening purposes owing to the location of
our extensive canning factory at this point
This has caused quite boom in this class
of property and the man who happens to
own farm near by is fortunate. for some
land is selling as high as 500 an acre that
could have been bought two years ago for
$40.
The location of the canning establish
ment and the boot and shoe factory in the
west part of the city, has caused quite a
boom in lots in Peck's addition. We are
informed that the packing house is to be
located there also; near the Hazelton Roller
| mill. There is splendid location there
| for factories between the tracks of the Fl.
| Scott and the Kansas & Southwes ern;
and, as the Rock Island will probably get
her right of way between these two tracks
there will be plenty Of railway competition
at the very door.
A delegation of citizens Is now confer
ing with Mr. Low, Of the Rock Island,
with regard to that roads proposition to
build here. We now feel assured that
there will be four railroads completed to
this city by the LIST of Jan. 1888.
Itisnow apprent that the permanent boom
has struck Hazelton and she is rapidly ad-
vancing to her place of the banner city of
Barber county She is surrounded by
farming land which is not surpassed for
fruit raising, gardening or for anything
that the soil of this latitude will produce.
She is also fortunately located in the gate
way from Kansas to Texas, as is shown by
four great trunk lines building through
her limits. These facts are plenty Of evil
dence that we are to become large and
prosperous city. The real estate business
has assumed such large proportions that a
new company of large experience will
soon open its Office here, and we may look
for some surprises in real estate matters
within the next few weeks. There can be
fortunes made by buying now before the
advance in prices, which is bound to con
tinue with the approach of two more lines
of railroad. Prices of choice business sites
on Main street are now about double what
they we're few months ago, with very
few choice lots for sale within q reasonable
distance from the center of the city-the
crossing of Main and Church. Two
thousand dollars was recently refused for
the corner opposite the Bank Of Hazelten.
We expect before many years to see
long trains Of frei yht between Texas, old
Mexico and the Pacific coast and Wichita
passing through on four different great
lines of railroad. OF at least two of these
lines we will have a division, and every
thing considered We are of the opinion tina

SARATOGA SOUNDINGS.

Her depth measured aud bottom found
solid.
She is noisy but musical. The music is
furnished by her busy population. Saws,
hammers, maliets, chisels, trowels and
other mechanical tools are the instruments
played upon. The star performers are her
mechanics, and the business men are chin
ing in on the chorus in great shape.e
No city is southwestern Kansas has been
advertised less, or paraded abroad her
beauty, prosperity and importance SO little
as has the city of Saratoga, but notwith-
standing this fact, she has kept abreast
with the best growing cities in the new set
tied Kansas territory. and her prospects
brighten and grow more tiattering day by
day. Bonds have been carried in Cove and
Saratoga townships for the building of the
A. V. 1. & N. ". railroad The road will
run from the southeast to the northwest
through the county, crossing The K. P. &
w. r. r. at Saratoga, giving us an outlet
to the northwest and a more direct route to
Texas and the new south"
With the coming of good weather trade
has increased, and our merchants are doing
thriving business, two Of whom told me
that on last Monday they had such rush
that it was impossible to wait on all their
| customers.
The new iron front for the city hall ar
rived from Topeka today, and Mr.. Knight
Brown, the contractor, informs me that he
will put twenty men at work
next week On this and other build
ings under contract. The great drawback
to our building boom seems to be for the
want of material. While We have two good
lumber companies, the Prairie Lumber
Co. and the Carey Lumber Co., the dc
mand from country and city finds them
out frequently, and this is more especially
the case with brick Nearly all the brick
made last season are in walls, and it may
be necessary to ship brick in here from
Kingman or other places TO complete the
buildings in course Of construction.
The Saratoga cornet band has sold i.e
old instruments, and received yesterday .
new set of silver instruments, and under
the leadership Of Prof. Bates the band i,
furnishing fine music to our citizens.
| While most branches of business are
we'll represented here there are some lines
| needed SARATOGA needs and the country
demands a grain elevator. One or two
more general merchandise stores, furni.

WHEAT IN THE ARKANSAS VALLEY

The wheat crop is being looked to less
and less each succeeding year as worthy
attention in this valley. and more especially
on account of prices which have ruled SO
low for so long. But last year and even
the year previous were discouraging on
account Of the average yield. The stand
this spring looks far more promising than
last and abundant spring rains viii be
very apt to make an extra yield.
